BRACKET.

1,068,391, Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HUGO JENSEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

The essential object of this invention is to provide a bracket to beapplied to a fence or the like, which bracket is intended to support aflower box or similar device from the fence.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a fence to which thebracket is applied; and Fig. 2 is an end view showing the top rail ofthe fence in section, and the bracket and the palings of the fence inele vation.

The palings 1 and top rail 2 are of any suitable construction. Thebracket is formed of a band of metal 01' other similar material and isadapted to be hooked upon or secured to the fence so as to be retainedthereupon without the use of nails or screws. One arm 3 of the bracketis L-shaped, the long arm of the L being substantially horizontal whenthe bracket is applied to the fence, and the shorter arm beingsubstantially vertical. The shorter arm is provided with aninwardly-projecting toe 4, which is adapted to bear against one of thepalings 1. The arm 5 is also L-shaped, one-part of said arm 5 beingsubstantially horizontal and adapted to rest upon the top of the rail 2,the other section being substantially vertical and engaging the rail 2upon the side opposite to that engaged by the member 3. At

its lower extremity, the arm 5 is bent into a knuckle 6, which engagesthe paling 1 at approximately the same height as the toe 4. A stud 7 iscountersunk at 8, in the horizontal section of member 5 and projectsupwardly through the slot 9 in horizontal section of member 3. The stud7 is screwthreaded, and the nut 10 is adapted to be placed thereupon,which nut when tightened binds the members 5 and 3 firmly together. Theflower box or other article to be supported is inserted in the space 11which is formed by the arms 3, 5, 12, and 13.

Obviously, the bracket may be accommodated to a fence or top rail of anysize whatsoever and may be made so as to support a flower box or similararticle of any desired size.

I claim as my invention:

A bracket comprising a pair of horizontal arms adapted to engage eachother, means to secure said arms together in superposed relation, avertical arm depending from each of said horizontal arms, means uponeach of said vertical arms and projecting therefrom, said projectingmeans extending to ward each other, one of said vertical arms and themember projecting therefrom comprising a hooklike end, and supportingarms, all of said arms being integrally united together.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto affixed my name in the presence oftwo witnesses.
